It's a variable width pully, much like a snowmobile clutch, controlled by the lever with the notches. When working correctly, it is used to vary (Variator) the ground speed of the tractor in each gear.

The hydro took some getting use to on mine. The brakes will not stop my 318, they are more there to slow the wheels for tighter turns and for the parking brake. Trying to work the plow blade, steer and control speed some times becomes a juggling act.

Put my little mean green machine to work yesterday. We had 8 tons of rock delivered and used the plow to push it all into place. Learned I could use some more rear weight though.

Final shot. the panorama function stitched the picture together funny.

Does your blade have Hydraulics? If so .

I had 6 tons of gravel for my driveway delivered this spring and I was surprised how well my little 110 did with it. There is a bit of a learning curve, it's not a D8, but it did pretty well for all manual and no extra weight.

There's a web site similart to this one called weekendfreedommachines (or there used to be anyway.)

I have two mid-60s JD 110 "Round Fender" tractors with mower decks, one snowplow AND a set of wheelweights on one. PO started restoring one of them and lost interest (His dad in Iowa passed away and let him a large collection of pre- 1955 IH and JD tractors - all restored). It supposedly runs but I have to put the tank (had it checked for leaks and sealed and powder coated) back on and put a new wiring harness in.

The other one has a broken rod - I got it for parts for the other one but it seems to be complete other than the rod. Thinking of putting it back together too.

Nice to see some other folks in the younger generation appreciation fine machinery! :)

Weekend Freedom Machines is still around. (if we would read the whole thread we would know it's listed on the 1st and 2nd pages...so I'll link it here as well...)

I can usually find what I need with their search, so I don't post much there. Love the classifieds though.

nice tractor ... but way over priced!
$1,650 and doesn't include plow ($750) or other attachments.

too many deals pop up on craigslist to consider spending that much $$$...

was an exceptional deal, but just scored an International harvester with 40hp diesel, excellent tires with front end loader, included bucket and brush hog for $850 ... starts right up, runs strong with no smoke... hydraulic rams leak, but that's $100 for parts fix.

needless to say that deal lasted all of 15 minutes ... lucked out by being first caller.
